[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 715432, member: 1233"] Wow! So MANY parallels! When we lived in the other state I had 2 best friends who were close as sisters. We have lost touch but if I reached out and could stay in touch, or lived near them, we would be close again. When we moved I made a few friends. One close friend, A, ended the relationship because I revealed to her husband that she was being treated by a psychiatrist for delusions. He often left the state/country for extended periods of time, leaving her home with their two children under the age of 5. I had just discovered that her delusions had become dangerous. A year before she asked me to promise that if they got to certain points then I would tell her husband. They met those points, so I did. Of course she was furious, and refused to speak with me ever again. I sort of was prepared for that. I even told her that she would probably hate me if I did that, as she would see me telling her husband as taking his side. She said that her sons needed me to do it because if she was that sick then they needed to be protected from her. She was right. Her husband had no clue she had ever even seen a psychiatrist, much less taken any medication for a mental illness. I knew him years, decades, before I knew her, and I hated to give him such awful news. It is hard to open up to new relationships again. I have an especially hard time because with so many migraines I often have to cancel and people don't understand. They think I am faking it. Until recently I had 27 migraine days each and every single month. I take 3 different medications to prevent them and I still take the max allowed doses of migraine medications each month - 12. It is hard to plan to do something with someone when you don't know if your head will explode or not. I will stick with y'all online. Plus you understand my kids. Though I will say that people here enjoy my kids. Wiz' coworkers adore him. He makes the days go by real fast because they never ever know what is going to come out of his mouth. He is great with customers, even though does like to challenge the standard Bible Belt mindset around here. He feels someone should stand up for the atheists. And the Cthuluists. [/QUOTE]
